    I am curious. On average, how much did you spend on your setup initially and how much to make you happy with it?

    WAY TOO MUCH and then it was stolen frown

    DSM=Bang for the buck! For about $1000 I will increase 30HP+. For another $1500-2000 I'll be over 300HP running high 12's/LOW 13s. 11's are possible on the street but it means compromising smog and idle quality but it's possible if I decide that I want to go that far.

    Actually, I just work on Eglin. I spend quite a bit of time in Crestview because my girl lives up there. I have a Grey 94 RS, which I hope to put a turbo charger on one day. I wanted an SC for stealth reasons but I do not want to buy a GSR engine and those seem to be the only engines that the SCs perform on really well from the initial install. First though I have shit to do to my house and then I need to get a second vehicle. By the time I can afford what I want I will probably end up trying to get a newer car.

    $15,000 to date for performance.
    Have $2,000 left this summer.
    Car runs like the wind.
    Never going to be happy though.
    I could be running 10s and be pissed off that I haven't hit 9's.
